Salvia (3 Gallon)

3-Gallon Red Salvia

Brighten your home and garden with the classic beauty of our 3-Gallon Red Salvia — a flower that’s as full of life and spirit as a Southern summer afternoon. With its vibrant scarlet blooms and easygoing nature, Red Salvia has been a beloved favorite in gardens for generations, passed down like a good recipe or a cherished family story.

A Rich Tradition:
Native to the warm heartlands of Central and South America, Salvia has long symbolized healing, strength, and heartfelt passion. In Southern gardens, its bold color and resilient spirit remind us of the joys of gathering together, celebrating life's simple pleasures, and watching the seasons unfold.

What Red Salvia Means:
The brilliant red blooms speak to energy, love, and the strong bonds of family and community — perfect for homes that welcome guests with open arms and cheerful porches lined with blooms.

Where It Grows Best:

• Sun: Loves full Southern sunshine (at least 6 hours a day)

• Soil: Prefers well-draining, modestly rich soil

• Water: Enjoys a good drink but appreciates a little drying out between waterings

• Zones: Thrives in USDA zones 9–11; can be grown as a lively annual elsewhere

Size and Growth:
Growing up to 18–30 inches tall and spreading 12–18 inches wide, Red Salvia makes a lush, vibrant addition to flower beds, borders, and pots by the front steps.

Caring for Your Salvia:

• Deadhead spent blooms to keep the flowers coming all season long

• Feed with a gentle, balanced fertilizer in early spring

• Prune lightly if she starts to get a little too wild

• Enjoy: She's deer-resistant, easy-going, and quick to reward a little love with lots of color

Perfect Southern Companions:
Pair your Red Salvia with Marigolds, Angelonia, Petunias, or the silvery grace of Dusty Miller to create a garden full of color, character, and down-home charm.

Whether tucked along a picket fence or brightening a sunny porch, our 3-Gallon Red Salvia brings the timeless beauty of a true Southern garden to your home — a place where flowers, family, and sweet memories grow side by side.
